Qatar Airways' QSuite named best airline innovation of the year

Qatar Airways has been honoured for its revolutionary new 'First in Business Class' product Qsuite at the 2017 Telegraph Ultratravel Awards.

The airline was awarded the Best Airline Innovation of the Year category of the ULTRAS (Ultimate Luxury Travel Related Awards) for the launch of Qsuite, which was first revealed by Qatar Airways at ITB Berlin in March.

Morena Bronzetti, Qatar Airways Country Manager UK & Ireland, said: “Qatar Airways is delighted to accept this highly reputed award as recognition of our ongoing commitment to our passengers through a premium product and service philosophy.

“The UK will be the first of all our markets in the world to feature the Qsuite, further cementing our dedication to the region and showcasing our commitment to providing UK passengers the best product and service. We are constantly evolving our on-board experience to ensure customers flying to and from the UK enjoy the best product and travel in unrivalled comfort.”

Morena Bronzetti, received the award on behalf of Qatar Airways from HRH Princess Beatrice of York at the annual ULTRAS dinner and reception Monday evening (22nd May) at The Savoy hotel in London. The event was also attended by Sarah, Duchess of York, HRH Princess Eugenie of York, and Mark Tindall, along with senior representatives from world-leading airlines, hotels, tour operators and cruise companies.

The Qsuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room. Adjustable panels and movable TV monitors on the centre four seats allows colleagues, friends or families travelling together to transform their space into a private suite, allowing them to work, dine and socialise together. These new features provide the ultimate customisable travel experience that enables passengers to create an environment that suits their own unique needs.

The new Qsuite will be installed on Qatar Airways’ current fleet from next month, at an estimated rate of one aircraft a month. It comes as the airline celebrates its 20th year of operations marking two decades of growth, industry leadership and innovation.

Dubai International (DXB) has registered yet another month of record passenger traffic with 8.2 million passengers welcomed in August, according to the monthly traffic report issued today by operator Dubai Airports.
